A proportion is when two ratios or fractions are equal to each other. This means the relationship between the numbers in one ratio is the same as the relationship in the other ratio, and you can check this by cross-multiplying the numbers. For example, 2/3 = 4/6 is a proportion because 2 × 6 = 3 × 4, so both ratios show the same relationship.
